Leaving The Country After Divorce

Noticing that Lucian still had a look of guilt in his eyes, Roxanne pursed her lips and held his hand as she added, “Nothing like that will happen to Essie ever again.”

“We’ll do our best to protect Essie too!” Archie and Benny chimed in.

The look in Lucian’s eyes softened up a little after he heard that, much to Roxanne’s relief.

“Maybe I should bring Essie over to my place for the day. She has been through quite a lot today,” she suggested.

Roxanne was a little hesitant to do so, but Estella nodded profusely in agreement.
